As we age, new skin concerns are completely normal as our skin starts to lose collagen and elasticity. If you are experiencing skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, cellulite and more, Morpheus8 for face and body can be the rejuvenating skin solution for you.
Morpheus8 is an FDA approved treatment that utilizes the latest technological advancements in microneedling and radio frequency. Morpheus8 uses microneedling to penetrate skin by creating micro-lesions that absorb the heat from the radiofrequency. This minimally invasive procedure can achieve skin tightening results in just one treatment. The procedure can be completed in as little as an hour. Morpheus8 can be combined with other procedures to provide complementary results.
At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer Morpheus8 for face and Morpheus8 for body. Since Morpheus8 uses microneedling and radiofrequency, it initiates a natural healing response that promotes both collagen and elastin production in the skin. These two proteins are important for the skin as they promote strength and elasticity.
Morpheus8 Face
Morpheus8 for the face can treat common cosmetic concerns including nasolabial folds, fine lines, loss of facial volume, hyperpigmentation, scars, and more. This facial treatment is safe on all skin types and can be used on delicate areas of the face. Morpheus8 is ideal for patients seeking a rejuvenated facial profile without undergoing surgery. The treatment can lift and tighten sagging skin and jowls, soften fine lines and wrinkles, and combat acne and acne scarring, instantly restoring a youthful facial profile.
Morpheus8 Body
Morpheus8 for the body targets and treats a wide variety of problem areas on the body. It can effectively address cellulite, stretch marks, scarring, loose skin and skin texture. Morpheus8 can also target small pockets of fat on the body while tightening skin, leaving patients with a firm, tone figure. The treatment is highly customizable to improve body contouring without invasive surgery. Morpheus8 can be used on the abdomen, buttocks, upper arms, thighs and more.
What To Expect When Undergoing Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 treatments are performed in-office and do not require general anesthesia. Instead, patients will receive a topical numbing agent to minimize any discomfort. Morpheus8 is completed in small sections to achieve precise targeting and prioritize patient comfort.
What To Expect After Morpheus8?
Patients can occasionally experience irritated skin directly after the procedure. Patients should avoid sun exposure and apply a high SPF while keeping the skin free of any products. The treatment area should be kept clean and dry for a few days after the procedure. While patients sometimes see results a few days after Morpheus8, it may take a few weeks to notice full results as collagen production continues to increase. The skin tightening effects from Morpheus8 can be seen for up to 3 months after the procedure.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff are available to answer any questions or discuss Morpheus8 with you. Please contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000 to schedule a consultation or request an appointment online today!

New season, new skin! Refresh your skin this spring and start the season off with your best face forward. Dr. Asaadi and his team can perform non-invasive treatments and utilize cosmetic fillers to help you achieve a rejuvenated and revitalized glow without undergoing any invasive surgeries or procedures.
Cosmetic Fillers
Cosmetic fillers can provide patients with a younger-looking appearance by combatting wrinkles, fine lines, and creases, adding volume to the facial profile. Cosmetic fillers are injected beneath the skin to add volume to areas of the face that may have become sunken or hollowed with age. Certain fillers are utilized to reshape the lips or cheeks, for a fuller, more plump appearance.

Volbella® can redefine and reshape the lips for a more youthful look.

How Does SKINVIVE™ Work?
SKINVIVE™ is injected just below the surface of the skin, targeting specific areas of facial tissue.

Following the injection, water can easily flow between the skin cells, encouraging increased hydration and smoothing effects. During your SKINVIVE™ treatment, patients can expect little-to-no pain as numbing with a topical anesthetic is administered prior to your SKINVIVE™ injection. Following your SKINVIVE™ injection, redness, bruising, and swelling may occur around the injection site.

With a new year comes new changes, and for many people their New Year’s resolutions involve goals to attain their desired appearance. So, why not face the new year with a refreshed and rejuvenated look?
At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer numerous facial rejuvenation treatments that contribute to restoring youthful, glowing skin and can provide patients with more confidence as they enter the new year.
One way to bring back radiance to the skin is through laser skin resurfacing. This is a facial rejuvenation procedure and blemish treatment that reduces cosmetic irregularities such as damaged skin, acne, and signs of aging. As you begin to age, wrinkles, folds, age spots, and fine lines will start to appear. Repairing your skin and reducing the signs of aging is possible with laser skin resurfacing.
Laser skin resurfacing uses laser beam technology to precisely target problem areas. The laser is scientifically designed to repair damaged skin while preserving as much healthy skin and tissue as possible. During the procedure, protective eye goggles are worn to shield the eyes from the laser.
There are several different laser treatments available today that are chosen based on the individual needs and preferred outcome for each patient. Laser skin resurfacing may utilize ablative lasers, non-ablative lasers, fractional lasers, and the Fraxel CO2 Pixel Perfect™ laser, and Intense Pulsed Light Treatment. A combination of these laser types can be used to effectively treat skin concerns. Laser treatments can also be performed at various depths, which is dependent on the skin imperfections being repaired.
-
Ablative Lasers: Removes damaged tissue and skin layers that cause discoloration, blemishes, or irregularities and are often used in cases of skin-firming, wrinkle treatment, and scar reduction.
-
Non-Ablative Lasers: Breaks down cosmetic blemishes on the surface of the skin and is often used for treating fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Fractional Lasers: Reach the deepest layers of the skin to remove damaged cells and promote growth of healthy tissue and is used to treat deep folds, severe wrinkles, scarring, discoloration, and liver spots.
-
Fraxel CO2 Pixel Perfect™ Laser: Treats the deepest layers of skin without harming healthy cells, restarts your body’s natural collagen production, generating new, healthy skin cells. This laser results in a high success rate and quick recovery period.
-
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment: Improve the appearance of skin irregularities by enhancing tone and texture of skin, encourage collagen production, and is used to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, pigmentation issues, birthmarks, and more without extensive recovery time.
Laser skin resurfacing is performed for moderate-to-severe cosmetic blemishes and irregularities. Dr. Asaadi will help to achieve facial rejuvenation results by determining which laser would be best. The recovery from laser skin resurfacing is dependent on which laser was used and at what depth. Common side effects from this procedure include minor itching, irritation, and discomfort which fade in the days following the treatment. The skin may be red and sensitive for the first few weeks, and sun exposure should be avoided.
Dr. Asaadi and his staff are on hand to answer any questions you may have regarding laser skin resurfacing for the new year. Contact our New Jersey office at 913.731.7000, our New York office at 212.938.0158, or you may request an appointment online today!
